is that all?
- don't have an answer to it
- probably working hard towards a goal
why can't you work towards a goal right now?

what are the realistic ways you can make "enough money"

what can you do right now
- all of them
why aren't you doing it

is that a good enough reason
- i don't think so
what are you gonna do then?
- ask for insane salary
- if not 1, quit the job
do you have enough savings
- between stocks and bank? yes
is that scary?
- yeah what if i burn down all my savings
what then?
- i'd have to take a job
aren't you doing that right now?
- yeah
so again is it that scary?
- im scared i don't work hard enough and am an imposter
do you work hard?
- think so
then what's hard enough?
- i watch reels sometimes
is that a terrible thing?
- maybe i dont know its supposed to be a bad thing
what else?
- what if i fail and go down to 0
WHAT ABOUT IT, YOU CAN GET A JOB
- i know but i earn good
BUT IS THAT ENOUGH
- no it isn't
then why are you not going for it?
- felt like finishing up my education loan would be nice
- maybe even save up enough
but there is no enough
- yeah you are right
what are you gonna do then
- quit my job or get an insane salary
when are you gonna do it
- tomorrow morning, in the meeting
